Before we get to it...

Before we get to the longest picture summary of this weekend's activities, look what I found when I came home on Friday after work.
We have been introducing the potty for a month or so now and Bug finally understands that you cannot leave the potty until you actually go in it.  Unfortunately, she is enforcing that policy on these two, who remained on that potty from the moment Bug placed them on it before she left for day care that morning, until I got home.  Hey, at least she understands.  Hahaha.  Since Bug follows me to the bathroom to check out how it's done, I've introduced her to a potty song, written by yours truly.  It's awesome.  Don't be jealous you don't know it.  She's finally got the idea that we only sing it when you actually use the potty.  :)  Potty training is by far the most intimidating task on the parental "to do" list.  I'm fearfully up to the challenge!  Let's do it!

On Saturday, had an early BBQ celebration for Mama's birthday!

Someone was wearing the cutest hand-me-down top from our neighbor!  My favorite top so far!

As always, we got to spend some quality time with Lo!

Not her birthday, but still wanting to blow out the candles.

Cake.  Mmmm...

Before heading to cousin, Scarlett's 1st birthday party on Sunday, we had some family of three time.

First, church.
 Then some lunch and hanging out, taking in all that SoCal February sun with this diva.

Get ready for bunch of amazing rainbow-themed birthday pics.  This was a great party. Scarlett's mommy did an amazing job!

We got there a few minutes early so we were able to see Scarlett in her pre-party, no shirt look. :)


Scarlett's cute tutu and handmade tutus for all the girlies!



 The cake was as a good as it looks, folks.  Mmm...




Then there was that moment when Auntie Colleen gently put a tutu on Bug and it ended in tears.  :)  My kid hates dresses.  That's how I know she's mine.

Well, if Bug won't wear it, someone else will. :)


Big brother, Ethan looking at such a small number one.  Not everyone is 3 years old. :)

Mommy and a friend admiring this little beauty and I caught it!  So cute!  This girl just wants to eat cake!

A grandpa and his girly.

Did I mention my daughter almost took down the entire dessert table because her Daddy wasn't going fast enough for her to get that cake.  Yeah.  My kid.  :/ 

On the move and wanting to be a big girl already.

These two were so cute together!



Scarlett, so in love with touching Bug's face.  Bug, so patient and letting her sweet cousin discover it. :)
 Neither of them want anything to do with that tutu.  Hahaa.

I hope Bug is as great of a big sister as this girl is.  :)
 



Happy birthday, baby girl!

Since Bug and I both had Presidents' Day off on Monday, we celebrated Mama's birthday again with lunch!

Mama with 3 of her 5 girlies.  She looks so happy.  What an awesome Mama and awesome Grand-Mama. :)

Busy and FUUUUUN weekend!

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

A Kinder Grad

Kindergarten can really take a toll on the parents.  (Yes, I meant to say parents.)  I knew we were in for a lot of activities and volunteering, but I did NOT know that it would become a second job to be an involved school parent.  I was told that by volunteering and being involved, it would give your kids (and their classmates) all the benefits.  At a private school (especially a Catholic private school), if there aren’t any volunteers, there aren’t many activities.  So ultimately, I knew I had to participate.  Could I have cut down on the activities I chaired or took part in?  Sure.  Why didn’t I?  [Insert long sigh here.]  Because in the end, I realized that I wasn’t sending my child to a private school because it was better than the public schools in the area.  (We actually have great public schools in our district.)  I was sending my child to a private Catholic school so she could learn about her faith.  The most imp...

9 years later...

This is the story of a dentist-in-waiting-nomad, Angela (a.k.a. my sister, "Ate"-[for those who don't speak Filipino, pronounced "a-teh"]) and a basketball playing of an engineer. Freshman year: boy sees girl and never speaks to her. Senior year: boy befriends girl's sister and gets his chance. A winter formal came along. Boy asked. Girl accepted. Boy meets girl's brothers (eek!), mom, and dad (EEK!). They danced. Girl moves to San Francisco, then San Jose. Boy moves to San Jose. Boy moves back to Valencia. Girl stays in San Jose. This summer, girl will move back to Valencia. Soon, boy and girl will finally be getting married! 9 years later! I have yet to express how excited I am that my sister and Louie are finally getting married. (Not that they needed to tie the knot to officially make Louie a part of our family.) For nine years, Louie has become another big brother to me and an Uncle "Looouuuwweeeee" to my nieces- always willing to d...
